Zhao Yun wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Yun Xiao Yi's wave of her hand. Did he still think he could run away from here? How naive could he be? Moreover, Chen Wei was currently unfortunate enough to be within Yun Xiao Yi's range.
Yun Xiao Yi took a piece of Gneiss from her backpack and, with a thought, made the stone instantly appear in Chen Wei's retreat path.
Chen Wei's sturdy body crashed into the suddenly materialized Gneiss wall, leaving him covered in bruises. Lying on the ground, he stared at the rock wall that had sprung up before him, his eyes wide with disbelief. Was there a wall here just now? Had he not seen it clearly? Or had he misremembered?
At that moment, doubt crept into his mind. Turning back, he saw Yun Xiao Yi and the others approaching slowly. He quickly got up and turned to escape in another direction. But then—
Smack!
Chen Wei slammed hard into the solid Gneiss wall again. This time, however, he did not attempt to stand up and flee; instead, he chose to lie there, staring blankly at the sky above. He was exhausted and just wanted everything to end.
The path had seemed clear without any obstacles; as long as he started running, a tall wall would suddenly emerge from nowhere, blocking all his way forward. Who could he complain to about such a thing? Had he encountered the legendary "ghost wall"? It wasn’t even nighttime yet. Could these ghosts be so brazen during the day?
"Hey, brother, get up and talk," Zhao Yun called out from the side.
Chen Wei slowly lifted his head from the ground and looked at them, his voice weak as he asked, "Are you really alive?"
Zhao Yun laughed heartily. "You think we’re either human or ghost? Why not consider another possibility—spirits?"
"What?" Chen Wei was momentarily stunned, then suddenly enlightened. "You mean spirits?"
Zhao Yun shook his head slightly. "I’m not one myself, but this person beside me is a true immortal."
Chen Wei waved his hand dismissively. "I’ve never seen a spirit, but I’ve encountered plenty of charlatans. You must be pulling a trick; you can’t fool me."
The other person beside Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Then how do you explain this situation?"
With that, he gently waved his hand, and a block of Gneiss magically appeared on the ground, forming a circle.
Chen Wei was taken aback and quickly stood up. "Is this the wall I just crashed into?"
The other party nodded affirmatively.
Chen Wei sighed deeply. "I’m such a fool; I didn’t believe you were the real deal!" He then bowed down to the ground. "I, Dian Wei, failed to recognize the great figure before me."
"Dian Wei?" Yun Xiao Yi also realized at this moment that it was impossible for an expert who could rival Zhao Yun to appear in the mortal realm, even if Zhao Yun was still in his prime.
To think that the person before them was none other than the renowned Dian Wei made everything clear.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Bu was known as the best in cavalry, while Dian Wei held the title for infantry combat.
Upon closer inspection, it indeed matched—his massive physique, immense strength, wielding two heavy iron halberds, with over ten small weapons hanging from his waist.
However, historically, Dian Wei met a tragic end, and that blame likely fell on the famous warlord Cao Cao.
Despite this, Dian Wei should not bear the weight of such misfortunes due to Cao Cao's mistakes.
Now that he had encountered both Cao Cao and Dian Wei first, perhaps he could change Dian Wei’s fate and prevent this hero from dying with resentment.
Yun Xiao Yi looked at Dian Wei with an understanding gaze. "Did you not say that you wouldn't change your name or surname? Why do you call yourself Dian Wei then?"
Dian Wei scratched his head, appearing a bit shy. "My mother warned me that when traveling, I must never reveal my true identity. Besides, engaging in such highway robbery isn't exactly noble, so I chose a false name."
Yun Xiao Yi shook her head, expressing both understanding and sympathy. "You seem quite clever. Tell me, why is that?"
Dian Wei replied, "I didn't really intend to do this; I just got lost and was starving. I had to find a way to fill my stomach first. And I borrowed something; I will definitely return it."
As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled audibly, causing even his usually sullen face to flush with a hint of embarrassment.
Yun Xiao Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud. She immediately opened her bundle and tossed a roasted fish to him. "Don't rush; eat something first."
After receiving the fish, Dian Wei looked her up and down. "My lady, where did this roasted fish come from?"
Faced with such a question, Yun Xiao Yi could only shake her head in exasperation. "You're really foolish. I've already told you I'm an immortal; conjuring up a little snack shouldn't be too difficult."
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei was taken aback for a moment but quickly nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it's not difficult at all."
Then, driven by extreme hunger, he began to devour the fish voraciously. In reality, Dian Wei hadn't eaten anything for three whole days. Coupled with his robust physique, his daily consumption was quite substantial, which had led him into this predicament and forced him onto this path.
Even in such circumstances, he had never entertained the thought of harming others; he merely wanted to borrow some food to alleviate his immediate hunger and intended to repay it.
The roasted fish emitted a rich aroma. For Dian Wei, who was starving and dizzy from hunger, there was no time to savor it; he quickly swallowed nearly the entire fish except for the head, not even leaving behind the tiny bones.
After finishing one roasted fish, Dian Wei looked at Yun Xiao Yi with pitiful eyes. She immediately understood the meaning behind his gaze—he clearly wanted more.
Thus, Yun Xiao Yi took out another roasted fish weighing ten pounds from her bag and handed it to Dian Wei. "Don't rush; take your time eating. I still have plenty in stock."
In fact, she had previously caught over thirty of these fish, totaling more than three hundred pounds in weight. Even with Dian Wei's appetite, he wouldn't be able to finish all that food.
It should be noted that Dian Wei had lived a very difficult life in his early years.
